My original question...

> Does anyone have a format.dat entry for a Seagate ST43400N?

I received the following from Gary Riseborough. Thanks Gary!

disk_type = "Arte Seagate ST43400N" \
        : ctlr = SCSI : fmt_time = 12 \
        : ncyl = 2733 : acyl = 3 : pcyl = 2738 : nhead = 21 : nsect = 99 \
        : rpm = 5400 : bpt = 50688

partition = "Arte Seagate ST43400N" \
        : disk = "Arte Seagate ST43400N" : ctlr = SCSI \
        : a = 0, 45738 : b = 22, 182952 : c = 0, 5681907 : d = 110, 1143450 \
        : g = 660, 395010 : h = 850, 3914757

The format.dat worked fine when formatting using 4.1.3, but I was unable to run a newfs on 4.1.3. No
matter what parameters I used I constantly got seek errors. So I tried running a newfs using Solaris 2.1
and it worked!

Thanks Everyone

Julie
